Vote or Wells /?

Every terrible prediction which men
now utter OF the bad effect on women
Of voting, would be to-day made in all
Mohammedan countries if it was pro-
posed to let women walk unveiled in
the streets. 1t would he argued that it
was the nature of women to stay at
home; that all modesty would disappear
il her face was seen in public; that she
would become loud-voiced, rude, vul-
gar, it she talked Familiarity with the
men in public assemblies, and sat by
the side Of strangers with uncovered
face. IJwould be SAID that her indirect,
unseen influence on society through her
husbands and sons was far greater and
better than any she could exert direct
ly. How many Mohamme(lan predic-
tiobs would be made of the awful con-
sequences 70 women of leaving off her
thick yeili And yet J do not suppose
that our ladies, who are seen every
where in public, are any less feminine,
refined, and pure than the women of
Egyptian and Turkish harems. Rev.
| James Freeman Clarke.
When women vote, good women will
| be just what they are now, only more
| powerful
j. G. Whittier and Mrs. Harriet
Prescott Spoiford are among the Off
icers Ola Woman Suffrage League just
organized at Amesbury, Mass.

Of Sorosis, has been one ct the most
successful hee-keepers in the country,
making 10000 pounds Of honey in a
4 year.
Mrs. Lucy G. Lille, keeps two
stenographers busy taking down her

notable housekeeper, and has adopted
three children.
Helen Spurrell. Of London, has made
a translation of the Bible which is
highly praised by scholars, and is said
to be far more enjoyable to The English
reader than the "rev:setl version" of the

! \ few yatrs ;tgo'it WAS thought i'm.
proper fer a woman to bea foreign mis-
sionary unless SHE were missionary s
wife. Now there are 2,4bO unmarried
I women in the mission field, beside, pro-
bably,s IN equalhstmber Unmarried ones
And Tow go5a women Of Wichita,
Kan, Where it was SAID that only two
hundred women voted, and those chief
ly the deni-mohde, are writing indig-
.nant letters to the Frapers, Stating that
between three and four Hundred wo-
men voted, and that there were not
more than half a dozen "dlsreputables'
among them, There seems to have
been a remarkable amount of lying
done about that KANSAS election.
1t is prelicted that if woihen vote,
they will ti!fin I,,to Hten, become Gun
sexed," etc. But the chief differences
men and women are Natural ones; they
are not the result of Acknowledgement.
Wedo not find that voting makes a REIN
ed man coarse, or quiet man noisy or a
peaceable man pugnacicus. Every man
comes away from the polls just the

| went there. Voting;'aoes not wipe out

| wipe out natural differences OF tcm-
| permanent between mrl. and women?

slstency OF those who cry "down With

and 70 ask how they can reconcile II
with their sense OF consistency to vot 3
for both when they profess TO be In
favor Of neither. In the language Of
smother, II therefore oppose this bill
for the reasons: II inveighs sgainst
monopolies, and yet creates the
greatest monopoly OF modern times
II denounces discrimination and makes
discrimina ion not only possible, but
destructive; II proposes to give all
shippers q fair and equal chance, and
hedges about its remedial clauses with
conditions which destroy its effective
ness; II proposes to equalizs the OPP
portuDities Of shippers, and then dos
more 10 discriminate against railroads
and in favor OF water routes than ell
the enemies Of rel roads ever tried To
do. 1t will unsettle rates, dieorganizs
the industries OF the country and thus
force a reconstruction Of systems Of
production"
II the law is a good one for railroads
why is not also good for steamboats, !
Why may and why ought II OF to APP
ply alike to steamers plying the Ohio,
the Missouri, the Mississippi rivers
and all Others running through or by
different States and Territories Il
not the principle to be affected pre-.
cisely analagousf Do not steame rs,
wherever they have no railroad COM
petition, grade their charges always by
supply and demandf Why not FIX by
law freight rates as well for them aa
for railways? This seems to me to be
only reasonable II this law is to be made
permanent. Aye, 90 even further,
and fix the prices OF the farmers pro-
duce, the manufacturers handiwork
and the professional mans fee. This
would be logical, this would be con.
sistent
But to conclude. The overwh elm
ing weight OF testimony presented be.

ample TO satisfy every member that
the operations and results OF the late

ally. One house alone in Memphis
testified before the Comm ssion while
here that the cost to their business per
annum would, under the workings of
the new law, probably amount to l
per cent. on the whole, or to an aggre-
gate OF $4,000. 1t will thus be seen
how this sum, multiplied by the hun
dr9ds Of other large houses even in
one city, lie to run up into the millions,
which the consumers OF the country
are at last inevitably compelled to pay.
Finally, II l could get the ear
OF Congress, l would plead with thsm
to abandon any and all attempts to

A Monster Pie.

When the British corn laws were re-
pealed in 1916 general jubilee was held
in various parts of the United Kingdom.
At DENLY Dale, Yorkshire, monster pie
was baked and fragments of it have been
carefully preserved to this day. A cor
respondent writes: "a DENLY farmer
had small cabinet made, in which was
kept small portion Of the suct crust,
and one day, well remember, l was
given a small flat-like piece in order that
| might say had tasted the veritable
pie. The composition of the pic was as
follows: Flour, 623 pounds; suet, OH
pounds; lard, 10 pounds; fresh butter,
IL pounds; beef, 100 pounds; one calf,
five sheep, seven hares. fourteen rabbits,
four pheasants, four cartridges, two
brace of grouse, six pigeons, two tur-
keys. two guinea fowls, four ducks, four
geese, four fowls, sixty-three small
birds, and one pound of pepper. The
circumference of the pie was twenty-one
feet, and its height or depth two feet
three inches. "-Lesds Mercury.
